AGCI past participants Jerry Meehl, and Richard Moss reflect on how the Aspen Global Change Institute has convened scientists to define challenges, develop disciplinary and interdisciplinary research strategies, improve communication across natural and social sciences, and plan assessments and other decision support activities over the last 25 years.
